performance and powersave

# we can set CPU governor in BIOS or Power Mangement Program or the following Linux commands
sudo apt install cpufrequtils sysfsutils linux-tools-generic linux-tools-$(uname -r) linux-cloud-tools-$(uname -r) -y
# all cpu info
cpufreq-info
# cpu info for just cpu0
cpupower frequency-info
# just set cpu0 to performance mode
sudo cpufreq-set -g performance
# set all cpu to powersave mode
sudo cpupower -c all frequency-set -g powersave
sudo cpupower -c 0 frequency-set -g performance
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i "cpu mhz"

# How to persistence these configurations
sudo sed -i 's/^GOVERNOR=.*/GOVERNOR="powersave"/'/etc/init.d/cpufrequtils
# or
echo 'GOVERNOR="powersave"' | sudo tee/etc/default/cpufrequtils

sudo systemctl restart cpufrequtils
sudo systemctl disable ondemand

userspace and ondemand

This is because your system is using the new driver called intel_pstate. There are only two governors available when using this driver: powersave and performance.
The userspace governor is only available with the older acpi-cpufreq driver (which will be automatically used if you disable intel_pstate at boot time; you then set the governor/frequency with cpupower):

disable the current driver: add intel_pstate=disable to your kernel boot line
boot, then load the userspace module: modprobe cpufreq_userspace
set the governor: cpupower frequency-set --governor userspace
set the frequency: cpupower --cpu all frequency-set --freq 800MHz
NOTE:　还是要intel-pstate驱动吧，因为：

• intel_pstate驱动程序知道CPU工作方式的详细信息，并且比通用ACPI解决方案做得更好
• intel_pstate仅提供两个调控器，powersave而performance。英特尔声称intel_pstate的“省电”速度比具有“性能”的通用acpi调速器快

openwrt setting

for core in $(seq 0 "$(($(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) - 1))"); do
echo {performance|powersave} >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$core/cpufreq/scaling_governor ;
done
